A lawyer who played a key role in Trump’s failed effort to overturn Wisconsin’s 2020 election results is now helping the DOJ seek access to the state’s full voter registration list.
His absence in any previous DOJ voting case suggests he’s been newly hired into the department’s voting section.

Trump begs for every government building to be named after him - Kennedy Center, Dulles, Penn Station - but not the new detention centers like Alligator Alcatraz. Trump doesn’t want history to remember his cruelty, but it will.

Every authoritarian action he's taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.
He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.
